Who does Rupert Friend play in Obi-Wan Kenobi? His sinister role revealed
Here'sꩲ who Ru♏pert Friend is playing in Obi-Wan Kenobi

We've finally seen Rupert Friend in action as the Grand Inquisitor, his 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Obi-Wan Kenobi character.
The actor was cast way back in March 2021, but his role was a mystery until the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:show's trailer a𓂃rrived. In the first two episodes of the series, we see the sinister character in action as he pursues the galaxy's surviving Jedi with his fellow Inquisitors.
But who is the Grand Inquisitor, exactly? We're glad you asked… though be warned that the following contains major spoilers for Obi-Wan Kenobi episodes 1 and 2. Turn back now if you're not up to date!
The Grand Inquisitor
The sinister Grand Inquisitor is on the hunt for any Jedi who survived Order 66. As the name suggests, the character leads the Inquisitors, a terrifying group of Force-sensitives trained in the dark side who track down the remaining Jedi and kill them. Moses Ingram plays Inquisitor Reva in the serie𒁏s, and Sung Kang is playing the Fifth B✅rother, another Inquisitor.
In Obi-Wan Kenobi episode 1, we see thౠe three Inquisitors working together – but all is not smooth sailing. Reva is far too ambitious for the Grand Inquisitor and the Fifth Brother's liking, and they're not impressed with her quest to find Obi-Wan.
Then, in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Obi-Wan Kenobi episode 2, the unthinkable happens – Reva runs the Grand Inquisitor through with her lightsaber, apparently killing him. The character debuted in animated series Star Wars Rebels, though, which takes place after Obi-Wan Kenobi on the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Wars timeline.
It's unclear whether the Grand Inquisitor will survive his injury, then, or if the saga is undergoing a significant retcon, but 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:people are certainly confused. We'll know more as the show continues.

The Grand Inquisitor's history
Like 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Ahsoka Tano, the Grand Inquisitor lost faith in the Jedi Order following the bombing of the temple –🃏 but unlike Anakin Skywalker's onetime Padawan, he changed allegiances to the dark side.
The Grand Inquisitor reports directly to Darth Vader, and we already know that particular Sith Lord has a part to play in Obi-Wan Kenobi, especially after his dramatic entrance in the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:episode 2 ending: 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy has also promised the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:"rematch of the century" between Vader and his former Master. How ꦺthe Inquis꧅itors factor into the sparks about to fly between the Sith and Jedi is a mystery for now.
As we've seen, th🐻e Grand Inquisitor ha☂s a blood red lightsaber that spins and spins, and he belongs to the Pau'an species. His real name is unknown.
The character debuted in animated series Star Wars Rebels and went up against Ezra Bridger and Kanan Jarrus, but he also appeared in The Clone Wars as a Jedi temple guard. In Rebels, he was voiced by Jason Isaacs, who𒈔's best known forꩵ playing Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter movies.
